243WITH SUPPORT


DEFINITION

Classification: 352/243

(under the class definition) Subject matter including structure for maintaining the motion picture apparatus in the fixed position or fixed path of movement (i.e., adjustable) with respect to some other body or the earth; or including structure facilitating the grasping of the apparatus for hand held transportation or operation.

(1) Note. Class 248, Supports, especially subclasses 183 and 637 provides for motion picture camera or projector supports

where no significant motion picture structure is claimed. The mere positive inclusion in the claim of "a motion picture projector," or equivalent terminology is not sufficient to preclude classification in Class 248. As between Classes 353, Optics: Image Projectors and 396, Photography for this class the positive recitation in the claim of "a motion picture projector" or "a motion picture camera" or the equivalent terminology is sufficient for classification in this motion picture class.
